    Chunger's Photo Tips

    Okay, I'm not an amazing halo 3 photographer,
    but I do know a LOT about photography.
    I have seen some photo's taken in halo 3 that
    lack good photo structure. I'm going to teach
    you many of the basics of professional photography
    and the things we check before we CLICK to take
    the picture. Lets get started with definitions and
    pictures to give you some examples.

    Before we start we need to mention
    on VERY important part of photography. The Center
    of visual interest or CVI. The CVI is the place that you
    the human eye should glance at FIRST. It is the main
    object of a photo, or the main point, if you will.

    Simplicity-One thing going on in a picture, using a clean background.

    Rule of thirds- too hard to explain in words, this
    picture of a sheep gives you an example.

    See how the sheep is located at the crossing point
    on the seperation lines, try putting a vehicle or a
    spartan in any of these areas and you're photo's
    will look better.

    Leading Lines- lines in the photo that lead to the
    CVI. For example, below are some train tracks that
    lead the the Auschwitz Concentration Camp.

    Balance-Objects in Foreground and Background
    the provide information on the basis behind the
    picture.

    Short depth of field-Short distance covered within
    the photo.

    Long depth of field-Long distance covered within
    the photo.

    Framing-objects in the photo frame the CYI.
    [​IMG]

    High angle view-shows things from higher angles.
    [​IMG]

    low angle view-shows things from lower angles.
    [​IMG]

    repetition of object/form-object/form repeating
    more than 3 times.
    [​IMG]

    Selective focus-CVI is in the sharpest focus while
    background is blurred.

    I hope these helped you guys and I hope to see
    some better photo's next time I look through the
    Photo section on FH. hahaha. If these tips helped
    feel free to leave me a message on this thread or a PM or something.​
